The
Moonlight Garden: New Discoveries at the Taj Mahal (Asian Art
& Culture S.)
Tour India. For 350 years, the Taj Mahal in Agra has reigned
luminous and splendid as perhaps the most admired monument in
the world. Visitors who gazed across the Yamuna River from the
Taj pavilions have viewed what appears to be little more than
farmers' fields and barren ground. But historical references
as well as paintings from the time of Shahjahan (r. 1628-58)
reveal that it was once densely covered by rectangular walled
enclosures and lush vegetation. The Mughal emperor Babur built
gardens here as a way of evoking the characteristic delights
of the homeland he had abandoned when he moved from Central
Asia into India in 1526. Eventually, as the Mughal Empire grew
more powerful, the riverbank became lined with gardens belonging
not only to the imperial family but also to important nobles.
This definitive volume describes the discoveries of an international
project documenting the surface remains of a long-abandoned
Mughal garden, spectacularly located directly across the river
from the Taj Mahal. The book is illustrated with new photographs
of the Taj Mahal and the garden, now identified as the Mahtab
Bagh, or Moonlight Garden, as well as with paintings from Shahjahan's
era. Modelled after the Persian concept of earthly paradise,
the pleasure gardens of 17th-century Mughal emperors exhibited
elaborate renditions of cut-stone architecture, water chutes,
standing pools, flowing fountains, and plantings intended to
stimulate the senses. Well-ordered oases in an otherwise hot,
dusty, and chaotic environment, these gardens were places of
respite and enjoyment. In plan, proportion, and directional
alignment, the Moonlight Garden is indeed an integral part of
the design of the gardens at the Taj Mahal, presenting an expansive
new interpretation of one of the most famous buildings in the
world.
